Erk. "QetlhIS I have returned it." You're trying to say "I, QetlhIS, have
returned," right?
jIcheghpu' jIH, *QetlhIS*
> muSeng vay'.
I don't think that {Seng} is transitive in this way. I'd probably say this as
{munuQvay'}. Still, it's not a very direct thing for a Klingon to say. One
would either get to the problem, or say {HIQaH!}

HIja'. jIyaj.

taghwI'pu' pabpo' jIH, 'ej qaQaH 'e' vInID.

All of these could be given as {He}. A walkway could be distinguished by
others by saying {yItmeH He}.
><Hatch>,
{lojmIt}. If you want more specific, you've got to give me context. A ship's
hull's hatch? {Duj Som lojmIt} or {logh lojmIt}.
<elevator>
Hmmm . . . how about {lengmeH pa'Hom} "little room for traveling." Not very
good, I'm afraid.
> <North>, <East>, <West>, <South>, <left>, <right>
"left" could be rendered as {poSDaq} "to the left side" and "right" as
{nIHDaq}. As for the others, there are no words, and there has been great
debate about it.
> <train(ing)>,
qeq
> <shuttlepad (or any place to 'Saq')>
Again, depends on context. {SaqmeH Daq} is "place for landing."
